Success Is a Scam

This is Issue #001 of Go Beyond Success — a weekly letter for those who’ve followed the usual definition of success, checked the boxes, and still feel something’s missing.

3 MIN READ

Let’s start with the truth no one wants to admit:

Most people aren’t living successful lives.
They’re living approved lives.

From childhood, we’re handed a formula—
Get good grades.
Get a degree.
Land a “respectable” job.
Get married.
Buy a house.
Raise kids.
Retire.
Die.

That’s the script.
It’s safe.
It’s socially accepted.
But it’s also dangerously shallow.

Here’s the catch:
You can follow this path perfectly and still feel lost.
You can do “everything right” and still wonder, “Is this all there is?”

That’s because the default path isn’t designed for meaning.
It’s designed for maintenance.
To keep you busy, comfortable, and disconnected from your deeper self.

Let me be direct:
If you don’t define success for yourself, someone else will—
And they’ll profit from your confusion.

In this space, I want you to pause… and think.

Ask yourself:
What if success isn’t about climbing higher… but seeing deeper?
What if it’s not about having more… but becoming more?

Real success is not about applause.
It’s about alignment.
It’s when your life, your choices, your work, and your legacy all flow from a place of purpose.

So, starting today, we’ll do what few dare to do:
We’ll challenge the system.
We’ll question the script.
We’ll look beyond the shiny illusions of the modern world.

You’ll hear stories.
You’ll meet thinkers.
You’ll confront uncomfortable truths.
And you’ll slowly begin to reconnect with the wisdom, clarity, and courage needed to build a life that actually matters.

What to Expect from This Newsletter:

Every Tuesday, you’ll receive one deep, thought-provoking issue of Go Beyond Success.

Each edition is designed to shift your thinking, stretch your soul, and give you tools to build a life of meaning, not just milestones.
